Kuala Lumpur, In a Nutshell
But there's something that makes me incredibly happy here. I find myself walking down a street, soaked from the humidity and all of a sudden a blast of cool air-conditioned wind flies out of a storefront. Or I think I'm on the brink of passing out, and I find a street vendor selling ice-cold coconut juice for 29-cents. Or the way traffic rushes by, but the people on the street can't be bothered to walk faster than a snail's pace.
Like Singapore, it's a place where East meets West. Muslim mosques are perched beneath corporate high rises. Chinatown is home to Burger King and McDonald's. Veiled women shop for Gucci and Prada.
In fact, the most notable buildings in KL are the Petronas Twin Towers, designed by an American Architect. These towers rank 9th in terms of the tallest structures in the world, but held the record as the tallest from 1998 to 2004 stretching 1,482 feet into the sky. Like the Sydney Opera House, I found myself astounded by their beauty and magnitude. Check out the photo link to see more.
I'll leave this post short and sweet as I have to wake up at an ungodly hour tomorrow to catch a flight to Kota Bharu, take a 40 minute bus, then an hour jetty to finally arrive at the paradise island of Perhentian Kecil. 5 days of snorkeling, reading, and working on my "tan" should peel the layers of dirt and sweat right off me. Oh and people, please, step up to the plate and leave a comment dammit! I'm starting to wonder who's reading this besides my wonderful, supportive, slightly worried parents. Love you mom and dad :)!

Stranger in an Even Stranger Land: 2 Nights, 1 Day in Singapore
After 46 days spent in New Zealand and Australia, where life is relaxed and familiar, it was a bit of a jolt to arrive in my first Asian destination. The night I arrived, I decided to stroll through Little India and find a bite to eat. Easier said than done. I didn't recognize most of the food on the menus and it all just seemed so... well... foreign. After walking in a huge circle, I decided to dine at the Beach St. Scissor Cut Curry House. For $3.20SGD (i.e. about $2.50 US) I got a plate of chicken, rice and curry. Since this restaurant is set up almost buffet style, you need to get your own cutlery. I sat down with my food, a drink and a fork. Apparently I was also supposed to grab a spoon, which I missed, and ended up getting a few sideways glances as I picked up my chicken wings and ate them with my fingers. Social awkwardness aside, the curry was delicious!
Today was my big sightseeing day as I leave for Kuala Lumpur in the morning, so I tried to pack it all in. I started with a Mr. Bean Cheese Pastry, hit the shopping Mecca of Orchard Rd., meandered through Chinatown, snapped a few photos of the famous Raffles Hotel and cooled down in the icy air-conditioned National Museum of Singapore. I'm fairly certain that I learned a semester's worth of history on this fascinating city-state in a little under 3 hours.
What is most striking about Singapore is its lack of a singular identity. There is virtually nothing known about the "native" people who inhabited the island before the Europeans showed up. The only thing that survives from pre-15th century is a 6-foot piece of stone with some incomprehensible writing and a few shards of pottery. What this means is that Singapore did not really exist in a sense, until the British decided to set up port here. Once the Brits got the trade industry moving here, the population grew tremendously with Indians, Chinese and Malays. There was the British colonization, a period of Japanese rule during WW II, a period of independence followed by a merger with Malaysia, then another period of independence. Sorry to bore you with the history lesson, but there really is a point coming. Or maybe, rather, a question.
So who are Singaporeans? There are 4 official languages and 6 commonly practiced religions. It is a mish mash of cultures and yet they all seem to live in harmony. At a single restaurant you may see a Sikh in a turban, a Chinese family speaking Mandarin, an Indian stock broker on his blackberry and a European tourist all eating Singapore noodles and drinking Tiger Beer without feeling the slightest bit out of place.
The phenomenon that is Singapore fascinates me. It is a confluence of people, culture, business and beliefs. I can't say I would ever want to live here, and probably don't even need to visit again, but I'm glad I've seen it.
The culture shock of arriving in the East is starting to wear off and I'm getting my bearings. I ordered my $3.20SGD curry dinner again tonight with conviction and even remembered to grab a spoon on the way to my table!
Next up: Kuala Lumpur and Pulau Perhentian.

Raising the Bar on Beauty in Fraser Island & the Whitsundays
Dale is a scientist who attempts to prove that God exists through mathematical equations. His argument is that there are so many variables that if even the slightest bit different, would negate the possibility of life on Earth. He goes on and on about how the expansion rate in the Big Bang theory, the strong force, which binds atomic nuclei together and the mass of neutrons had to be precisely what they are in order for Earth to exist. He reasons that so many finely tuned variables could only be managed by a Higher Power, since it is too unlikely all of these variables would miraculously fall into place without such a force.
I don't know much about the physics and statistical probability of all this, but what I do know, is that whoever had a hand in fine tuning the ecosystem that exists on the world's largest sand island, Fraser Island, or the coral reef systems that give life to thousands of different species under the Whitsunday Islands did something right.
Fraser Island was created entirely of sand moved from the far south-east of Australia and some from thousands of kilometers away from Antarctica over millions of years. Miraculously, plants learned to grow on this island and over time the island gave birth to coastal heaths, eucalyptus forests, rainforests and wallum heath lands, in addition to 40,000 migratory shorebirds.
I spent 3 days and 2 nights in this World Heritage listed magical place, swimming in crystal clear lakes, hiking up huge sand blows that are reminiscent of the Sahara Desert, and strolling through lush rainforest.
From Fraser, I made my way north to the Whitsunday Islands, where I spent a couple days lounging at a luxurious resort (that I wasn't actually paying to stay at), snorkeling the reefs off Border Island and sunbathing on Whitehaven Beach. The sand on Whitehaven is 99% pure silica, which basically means that it feels like silk and the locals recommend sitting by the water's edge and exfoliating the skin with it.
The past week has been a slice of heaven: warm weather, turquoise water, vivid marine life and pure relaxation. It's easy to see why Dale's theory may hold some weight. There must be Something or Someone at work to create so many astonishing natural wonders.
I only have a handful of days left in Australia. I will snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, check out the night market in Cairns and head to the tropical rainforest that extends to the ocean in Cape Tribulation. The natural wonders ahead may seem even more remarkable than those that came before, if that's possible. And it leaves me questioning my basically atheistic viewpoints. I don't want to get all preachy here, but there is something so absolutely stunning and carefully balanced happening within each unique Australian landscape that it seems more than just a coincidence in physics. I ask myself everyday how it came to be that I am so lucky to see so many beautiful places and experience so many once-in-a -lifetime moments over and over again, day after day. Just when I think I've hit the greatest height of amazement, something else comes along to raise the bar. We'll see if the wonders of Asia will hold a flame to the beauty of Australia and New Zealand. If nothing else, at least the food will get better as I don't think I could look at another slice of flavorless pizza or over-battered fish n' chips if you paid me!
My next blog post will likely be from a high rise hostel in Singapore. Apparently I can't bring chewing gum or cigarettes into this country, so not sure how my relaxed Australian attitude will jive of the Singaporean way of life, but I guess we'll find out.
Til next time, cheers mates!

The Blue Parrot: An Unusual Hostel in Sydney
Written and Directed by Miranda Molen
Cast of Characters (in no particular order)
Claire – blond party girl from somewhere in England who is everybody's best friend and supplier of random groceries (since she's lived at the Parrot for 6 months)
Henning – German guy, desperate to sell his beat up station wagon after spending the last 6 months driving 30,000 kilometers across Australia, rarely showering
Jean – Frenchie from Lyon who stole 180 bottles of 12 year old whiskey from his previous job in Sydney and was on a mission to see how quickly he could consume all of it (sharing with the fellow hostel guests of course)
William – Dutchman with fitted jeans and a cowboy hat, often seen texting his Aussie girlfriends or planning the launch of his next company from his Apple laptop
Greg – incomprehensible Cockney Brit with shirts so tight they may give Right Said Fred a run for their money
Linnea – Swedish blond with impossibly long legs who found work for a couple days in the strip club down the road only to realize it doesn't pay much better than cleaning the hostel
Liz – Frenchie who doesn't actually live at the hostel, but takes the crew out every night for some free drinks and good laughs
Kalston & Tobias – my German roommates who like to debate which is superior: East or West Germany
Random Frenchies – crew that travels in a pack of no less than 3, chain smoking and refusing to speak English, though they all do so fluently
Thomas – 18 year old Dutch guy who spends his days eating chocolate chip cookies and strumming his guitar
The Setting
Back patio filled with tables, chairs and a BBQ that doesn't actually work (though repeatedly tested).
Kitchen, where all dishes can usually be found in the sink and everyone's food is stolen at will.
Dining room consisting of a table used for late night card games and a counter covered in a jigsaw puzzle.
TV Room where Hellboy 2 is on the big screen and any number of the cast listed above lay quietly on the couch wishing their hangovers would subside.
Modern, but not quite stylish, home décor shop 2 doors down with a windowsill ledge used as a bench for late night smoking after the patio is closed.
The Scene
Frenchies sit on the patio smoking, speaking French and laughing loudly.
Claire and Linnea plan which nightclub may suit them best this evening.
William and Greg discuss the awkward morning after conversations they've endured with the locals of the opposite gender.
Thomas eagerly takes inventory of everyone's plans for the night before decided where and when he'll join.
Kalston and Tobias speak in German while discussing how terrible the sausage is in Australia.
Miranda, Henning and Jean sit at the dining room table and play a card game while Jean tries to convince Miranda to switch from her bottle of Sauvignon Blanc to whisky, unsuccessfully.
The Plot Summary
Short days and long nights are what best categorize my time in Sydney. I did see the sights: Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach, neighborhoods like the Rocks and King's Cross, shopping on George St., Oxford St. and at Bondi Junction. In terms of the sights, I was completely captivated by the Opera House. It is such an iconic building and one that makes the average person feel dwarfed in its presence. I sat on a park bench and marveled at its beauty for the better part of an hour and returned several more times over the course of my 5 days in Sydney if only to see its glory from a new vantage point or with differing amounts of daylight.
But the majority of my time was spent at the Blue Parrot. There was simply too much fun to be had to want to do much else. Everyday brought new arrivals of crazy characters and new laughs to be had. Every night was spent at the local bars or sitting around the dining room table playing cards and misunderstanding each other's broken English. By the end I even found myself speaking without verbs so that everyone would comprehend. But it all worked. We ate. We drank. We played together. And by the end, I didn't want to go. I easily could have wasted another week, or month with this crazy international crew. But alas, the world is a big place and there are many corners undiscovered, many sandy beaches not yet walked upon, many fish yet to be seen through the mask of my snorkeling gear. It's time to move north.
I'm in Brisbane now, but start making my way further north tomorrow, where I'll set off the following day to Fraser Island. It is one of Australia's most wild and untouched nature reserves, where I'll stroll through a subtropical rainforest, swim in turquoise water and soak in bubbling seawater. Should be a splendid reprieve after a couple weeks of city life and will hopefully help me move on from my fabulous stay at the Blue Parrot!

Signs of Life in Melbourne, Australia
The population of New Zealand is 4 million. The population of Melbourne is 3.5 million. Imagine going from an entire country, spread across two islands, to a city with nearly as many people. The vast openness and barren countryside of New Zealand has been replaced with Melbourne's skyscrapers and traffic.
I decided to throw myself straight into the mix, starting with a trip to the Queen Victoria Market. This bustling market is every chef's wet dream. Stall after stall is filled with fresh fish, organic meats, colorful and obscure produce and the most fragrant (read smelly) cheeses you can imagine. I had to restrain the urge to buy everything in sight since the kitchen at this particular hostel consists of a couple of hot plates and a microwave. I opted for some pesto/ricotta dipping sauce, a baguette and some fruit.
I then took a tram to the Fitzroy district to see what treasures I may find amongst the thrift stores and trendy boutiques. The neighborhood reminded me of a cross between Haight/Ashbury and Hayes Valley, with cafes on every corner and brightly colored graffiti livening up the back alleys (see Picasa link on the right for some pics). I kicked back with my book and a glass of wine and took in the dreadlocks and combat boots that mistook the Brunswick St. sidewalk for a catwalk.
Other highlights of Melbourne included the Melbourne Zoo, Royal Botanical Gardens and Quentin Tarintino's new flick "Inglorious Bastards." But I won't go into much detail on any of these.
I only tell you this to give you sense of how much there is to do and see here, and why I felt the need to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and get out to the sparsely populated Phillip Island for a day to see the renowned Penguin Parade. For those of you not familiar with this nightly event (i.e. all of you most likely), the penguin parade is the march of hundreds of tiny penguins out of the ocean, up the beach and through the hillside to get their land-based homes. The fairy penguins, as they are known, reach only about 12" tall and typically weigh 2.2 lbs. So basically the penguin is the size of a bag of sugar and weighs half as much!
These penguins spend anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months out at sea, then come onto land for 3 or 4 days at a time to rest, lay eggs or tend to the babies. It is a different set of penguins that come onto land each night and the number of penguins who march the beach vary between 100 and 2,000 nightly. They emerge from the sea in small groups of 5 or 7 at a time for hours starting just after dark.
Of all the things I learned, what really stuck with me about these little guys is that they live in constant fear. When they are out at sea, they are afraid of birds of prey from above. This is why their backsides are dark in color, so that when birds flying high above them look down, they are camouflaged by their dark blue feathers. They also fear the sharks below. When sharks look up, they see the light from the sun creating a white surface to the water, which is why their little bellies are white. Isn't Mother Nature remarkable!
When they get to shore, they fear just about everything, so they do a bit of a dance as they come in. The first penguin on the beach stands there looking around to see if there might be any predators lurking about. Once the other penguins come up behind him, they usually all turn back and dive into the ocean for cover, even if the coast is clear. They do this anywhere from once or twice to twenty times before they finally muster the courage to cross the beach. There is always a leader and seemingly always the scaredy-cat straggler. I sat on the beach and watched the nervous little ones play this mental game for about an hour in the freezing cold because I was so mesmerized. Sometimes it would take a group of penguins up to 10 minutes after reaching the water's edge before they dared cross the beach and begin the long trek home.
Their houses are holes in the hillside and can be as far away as 2 kilometers from the shore. Once they get close to home, they make a loud gurgle type sound and call out for their partner. They mate with a variety of partners, but they only breed with one partner their entire life. It's sort of like an open marriage, but they must use birth control with everyone except their partner. If they don't find their partner on a particular night, they may find someone else to shack up with and hope they find their #1 when they go back out to sea.
To be so afraid of so many viable threats at every moment of their lives must be so stressful. It makes me think of the Jews during the Holocaust, the Slaves before the Civil War, or any number of oppressed people. And yet, they summon the strength to live their lives in and out of the ocean because they must do both to survive. I think there's something to be learned from the little ones. Namely, you never know when the death bird or demon shark is coming to get you, so best get your belly full of fish and find someone to snuggle up with for the night while the gettin's good!
By the way, there were no photos or videos allowed, since the little guys are sensitive to light, but check out this link, or this one or this one for some pics.
Next up: Sydeny Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Bondi Beach. Fingers crossed, I will shed this damn scarf and finally don a skirt if the temperatures rise!

Jonathan Nikfarjam and Luca Jacoli Listed the Properties
Los Angeles, CA (August 2, 2017) — Coldwell Banker Commercial Advisors (CBC Advisors) today announced that Jonathan Nikfarjam, managing principal, and Luca Jacoli, senior associate of CBC Advisor's El Segundo office, listed two multifamily apartment complexes in El Segundo and Redondo Beach for a sale value near $7 million.
1208 East Imperial Avenue in El Segundo is a 6-unit, 4,459-square foot apartment complex listed for $2.35 million. The property is within close proximity to LAX as well as the 105 and 405 Freeways. Situated on a lot totaling 8,007 square feet and located just two miles from the Pacific Ocean, the property consists of two two-bedroom and one-bathroom units as well as four one-bedroom and one-bathroom units.
"The 1208 East Imperial Avenue apartment complex provides long-term investors with an opportunity to own a Class A asset on a valuable piece of land in a prime El Segundo location," said Nikfarjam. "A buyer may consider increasing yields through enhancing the current building to obtain as much as 31% in rental upside. 1208 East Imperial Avenue provides an investor with the opportunity to purchase a highly attractive property, with strong income, in an absolutely irreplaceable location."
508 Esplanade in Redondo Beach is a 6-unit, 4,780-square foot apartment complex listed for $4.6 million. Situated on a lot totaling 6,410-square feet, the property consists of one two-bedroom and one-and-three-quarter-bathroom owner's unit, one three-bedroom and two-bathroom unit as well as four one-bedroom and one-bathroom units.
"The 508 Esplanade apartment building is situated half a block from the Pacific Ocean, which provides long-term investors with an opportunity to obtain yield growth through property enhancements on prime land in Redondo Beach," said Jacoli. "Redondo Beach has seen a recent revitalization of local landmarks and continued growth in its multifamily market. A buyer may consider enhancing the current building to sell the property at a later date."
Nikfarjam and Jacoli specialize in multifamily investment sales throughout Southern California with an emphasis in Los Angeles County. Recently, the El Segundo multifamily team was ranked among the most active South Bay multifamily agent teams and was recognized in 2017 by the Los Angeles Business Journal as Los Angeles' "Top Multifamily Brokerage Team."

Protect Your Children and Others from Flu During the School Year
Parents and guardians:
You can protect the health of your children by teaching them to practice healthy habits during the school year. When children get sick with flu, they may be able to spread it to others for a longer period of time than adults. Plan to keep your children home if they're sick. By practicing healthy habits, you and your family will be doing your part to help prevent the spread of flu.
Take these actions to help keep your family well:
1)Get your family vaccinated.
2)Plan to keep them home if they're sick.
− If your children get sick at school, make plans to pick them
up as soon as possible.
-Keep your children home for at least 24 hours after their fever
is gone without using medicine that lowers fever.
3)Make sure they cover their nose and mouth with a
tissue when they cough or sneeze.
− Throw away dirty tissues.
-Use their sleeve or elbow if they don't have a tissue.
-Wash or sanitize their hands.
4)Teach them to wash their hands often at home and at school.
−Wash with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (the time it
takes to hum the "Happy Birthday" song twice).
-Provide hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol in case they
don't have soap and water.
5)Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects.
− Use soap and water, a bleach and water solution, or products
with a label that says "EPA-approved" to clean items, such as
toys and TV remotes.
-Always follow the directions on product labels.

A testament to this fencings durability is that it was selected as one of three standards of fencing for all new schools in Queensland. You have the option of powder coated finish or galvanised and differing heights with 1200mm or 1500mm high flat top (no pickets) or 1800mm, 2100mm and 2400mm high panels with squashed picket tops. Panels can also be raked to suit sloping blocks of land or stepped for retaining walls.
Exempla TM from JagFence is another high security, purposely designed fencing system built to be strong but unobtrusive. A spiked top is to stop people from scaling the fence while 5mm wire allows it to be strong. Panels can be built up to 4500mm high.
Securus TM from JagFence is at the forefront of anti-intruder security. When you need a guarantee of high security, Securus Mesh is the only place to look.
Utilising 4mm wire in a tight 71 x 9mm design, it proves to not only be anti-climbable but also safe from bolt cutters. Panels are bolted together with 50 x 50 x 5mm angle frames and anti-tamper bolts and the fence can be optioned with Barb / Razor Wire extensions and or Powder Coated finish.
Single or Triple Point Security Fencing is a highly adaptive, heavy security system available from Fence Co. Utilising a bolt on picket and rail system that is built on site, it is easy to install to cope with sloping land while also retaining strength. Many options are available with this product; from your standard galvanised or powder coated finish to 2 or 3 rails, Flat Pick, Single Point or the splayed Triple Point Picket which is this heavy security systems' signature. Pickets can also come in a flat design or with a cranked top.

About Medical Billing Course
Our Medical Billing Course was initially developed in 1999 and was the first Medical Billing Course offered online to the public in 2001.
Since day one, Medical Billing Course has provided its students with the ability to take what they have learned and apply it in a live medical billing software program, performing the day-to-day operations of an actual medical biller. Still, to this day, no other course provides this type of instruction.
We have had many students come to our course after first signing up for a Medical Billing/Coding Course which left them confused, not understanding the material, and not clear about how to proceed. The price tag on these courses are usually in the thousands and offered by what is known as "Educational Clearinghouses" or "Diploma Mills." You've seen them advertised on TV.
The founder and the staff at MBC have a combined 50+ years experience in the field of Medical Billing - and we will be the first to tell you that "Medical Billing" and "Medical Coding" are two separate fields and should never be studied together in one course. Please see our FAQ page for further information about why.
We are also very firm in our belief that, in order to retain what you learn as a Medical Billing Student, it is imperative that you are able to apply your studies in a live medical billing software program, performing the actual daily operations of a medical biller.
CEU's and Subscriptions: We do not require CEU's to maintain your certification with us and we do not charge you a monthly subscription fee. This makes absolutely no sense to us. Although Medical Billing Certification is highly recommended and some physicians will require it, it is optional. If you are holding a certification that is not required, why then would you be required to spend additional money to maintain it?
Instead of requiring our graduates to pay more money for CEU's and/or subscriptions, we provide course updates to our graduates free of charge.
We have a proven track record in assisting thousands of students in pursuing medical billing positions as well as beginning their own medical billing businesses and we look forward to welcoming you as a new student!

The visitor's brainwave fluctuations produce a dynamical distribution of taps over the grid of steel objects. The steel matrix is suspended at 2m50, typical for ceiling height. It is important for visitors to walk below the steel sky and experience the acoustic shifts in direction. 'Staalhemel' was originally conceived as an immersive sound art project. When visitors watch the whole of the installation frontally as one total object and from a distance, they will only hear the sum total of acoustic reflections from 80 pins hitting on steel. This acoustic monolith is very diffuse, shapeless and relatively loud. When however the visitors pass below the matrix, sound sources become very defined as they hear the pins directly above their head changing their frequency. Visitors are enveloped by a dynamic acoustic cloud of which details change when they move position.

Streetlife China
Quote: "Where the badges of the Cultural Revolution wed the urge to remember Mao to the theme of revolutionary transformation of self and class struggle, the theme park ties Mao to a different fetish: the urge to consume."
Comment: The Chinese government is employing consumption towards society by use of a park demonstrating the history of the Cultural Revolution. By doing this, it is attempting to further the progress of the Revolution by neglecting to portray the images of struggle and hardship so many families were inflicted by during this tumultuous time period. The alleged US$6 million volume that is the Mao Zedong Memorial Park is simply another effort by the Chinese government to control and influence the beliefs of the Chinese people.
Question: By building this theme park, would Mao not realize that the charging of his people would further afflict them with hardship and turmoil?Uncategorized

Thank for you question about the color balance on a Rebel t3i.
I personally shoot everything in RAW format and use the "k" setting for color balance. I match the color temperature to the lighting conditions and then tweak it in Photoshop lightroom or Camera Raw.
Your best bet is set the white balance using a gray card. Here is a useful article on how to set the white balance: Setting white balance on t3i.

Malmi has been selected as the location where the conceptual ideas must be placed. The context could be any that the city faces, such as the challenges of the declining attractiveness of the suburbs, combined with a need to offer the users better transit solutions. The station areas are complex organisms, with various tenants – public and private – heavy usage and a tendency to be exposed to vandalism. The role of private businesses should also be considered in offering yet another perspective to the development of the station area.
Malmi is the largest suburb in Helsinki with a population of 24,312. The Malmi station area is one of the major transit hubs in Helsinki, some 200,000 people travel through the station daily, and hence its importance is substantial. Malmi Station area is a typical example of a busy transit hub that has become worn out and where the overall appearance and functionality need improvement. The decline is evident when looking at empty lots and offices in the area.
Supporting Business Activity in Transit AreasA central issue in developing the station area is the ability to support various activities and to concentrate the functions within the close vicinity of the station. It is crucial for commercial activity that public services are intertwined with commercial services. This would allow the station areas to become local "village centres", which are passed through on a daily basis while commuting, but in which many services are found and where daily groceries can be purchased.
The quality of the city spaceThe quality of the environment has a substantial role in the perceived attractiveness of the area in considering the location of businesses. Companies compare their own image with the location brand, the accessibility, and the profile of the area as a place to live and work in. Another issue of attractiveness is the perceived cleanliness of the urban area and the surrounding environment.
Attention should be paid to the direction in which the facades of the commercial buildings in the station area are faced; areas in which facades face the pedestrian routes are generally perceived as more attractive. For the shops the pedestrian routes and their quality are of utmost importance. The attractiveness prolongs the time people spend in the station area beyond the basic time spent in transit. Additional benefits, such as easier and more efficient cleaning, can be achieved by densification of the services for pedestrian access.
The station area itself is rarely attractive. The railway platforms and structures surrounding them are prone vandalism and the cleaning and maintenance require additional input by the city and those responsible for the upkeep of the station. The responsibility for maintenance is often shared between several actors. The elements influencing the quality of the station area include lighting, accessibility, and the organization of bicycle parking.
Close distance to the station area has a negative influence on the prices of apartments. The price level of immediately next to the station is lower than apartments 500-600 metres away. The immediate vicinity to the station is perceived as unpleasant and unsafe, whereas apartments situated within walking distance from the station benefit from the good connections without the negative image of the station area.
Malmi Station Area - Historic Background
Malmi has been a regional centre for over a century. Originally, it served as the centre of what was then the township of Helsinge until 1946 when the area was consolidated to the City of Helsinki. After the consolidation, Malmi became, for all practical purposes, the heart of North-Eastern Helsinki, which has been its role to this day. Today, Malmi is also one of the two district centres in Helsinki.
The opening of the railway station in 1871 drew a large number of residents as well as industry to Malmi. The period following the consolidation to Helsinki also saw the beginning of new zoning projects: the west side of the railway tracks (Malmi, Tapaninkylä) received its first town plan in 1953, but the east side had to wait nearly two decades after the consolidation, until 1964.
In 1972, the City Council resolved that Malmi would be designated as the second district centre of Helsinki, which sparked a new zoning process in the Malmi district. (source: Suburban Guide Helsinki, Helsinki City Planning Department, 2009)
Malmi Station Area
The new railway station over the railway tracks was completed in 1986 and was connected to the pedestrian and bicycle ways on both sides of the tracks with bridges. The most important commercial and public services were positioned around the squares at the ends of the bridges. Office buildings were constructed along the roads flanking the main railway line. Later development of the district centre has followed along these lines. As was the case with the first town plan, the new plan took into account the existing network of streets, which is why Malmi took its current form. Additionally, conscious efforts were made to preserve as much of the old building stock as possible.
Malmi - Cut in two
The Malmi district is divided into two sections, Ylä-Malmi and Ala-Malmi, by the main railway line. In addition to the public and commercial services, both sides of the tracks hold residential apartment blocks, which are, on the Ylä-Malmi side, followed by a vast area of detached and semi-detached housing, which extends all the way to the Vantaanjoki river in the west and the Tapaninkyläntie road in the east. The Ala-Malmi area, in turn, contains the relatively expansive Longinoja park area, which is surrounded by detached and semi-detached housing as well as several educational institutes.
The Ylä-Malmi area also holds the impressive brick church from 1981, which was designed by architect Kristian Gullichsen, as well as a century- old hospital, which, during the war years between 1939 and 1944, served as a military hospital. In 1946 when the horrors of war had passed, ownership of the hospital was transferred to the City of Helsinki, and it received the name Malmi Hospital. The hospital has now been dubbed the Eastern Emergency Hospital and its expansion work is under- way. Despite the renovations, the old hospital buildings will be preserved.
The Ala-Malmi area, in turn, houses a beautiful graveyard, which was established in 1890 on former military training grounds.
The area also holds the Malmi Airport, which was taken into use in 1936. Currently, the City of Helsinki is searching for a suitable new location for the airport in the metropolitan area. The current site is intended to be zoned for residential use.
Additional plans have been made to construct new residential areas in the Ormusmäentie area near the centre of Malmi and in Alppikylä, which is located between Tattarisuo (a vast area of light industry on the east side of the airport) and Jakomäki.

Fredericton, NB, Canada – July 05, 2012 – On June 25-28, 2012 CARIS hosted the largest gathering of CARIS users at CARIS 2012, its 14th International User Group Conference. The four-day conference saw a record number of delegates in attendance from a variety of nations across the globe from government organizations, defence, hydrographic offices, private survey companies, academic institutes, and industry manufacturers and consultants.
During the first two days of conference delegates engaged in user group meetings and boot camps. The HPD, Bathy DataBASE and the first ever HIPS and SIPS user group meetings brought together diverse users which resulted in an excellent cross section of the use of CARIS products as well as an in-depth look at future development. The concurrent boot camps provided the first opportunity for hands-on practical training in Paper Chart Composer and the popular HIPS and SIPS boot camp was packed with novice and intermediate users honing their data processing skills as well as learning some new features such as Water Column Imaging.
During the main conference session the opening keynote address was given by the Honourable Keith Ashfield, followed by inspirational speeches by Rear Admiral Ian Moncrieff CBE , Dr. Leslie Sautter and CARIS' Dr. Mark Masry who shared some insight on the future development of CARIS products. The technical papers that followed were of the highest quality and widely respected among attendees. Papers presented were on topics that included discovery, data processing, data analysis and chart production.
During the breaks delegates indulged in research posters presented by students from a variety of academic institutes studying in the geospatial industry. This was also an opportunity for delegates to interact with many industry partners who were exhibiting at the conference.
Throughout the duration of the conference delegates were treated to a variety of social networking events. Delegates took in the beauty and culture of Vancouver including a beautiful evening cruise along the shoreline. While onboard delegates took in breathtaking views of Vancouver's cityscape and monumental landmarks and joined us in the celebration of 20 years of HIPS.
CARIS 2012 proved to be an outstanding event filled with exceptional technical expertise, user interactions and the latest CARIS advancements. We thank all that attended and look forward to seeing you at the next CARIS conference.

Laser rangefinders all work along those same lines, there is a lot of room for innovation around the implementation details. I recently reviewed 8 of the top laser rangefinders used for hunting and long-range shooting and was shocked by how much variance there was in their performance.
Ranging performance depends on many factors, but here are the biggest differentiators between rangefinders when using them for long range shooting or hunting. I'll touch on most of these in more detail throughout the article. Special thanks to Mike at Range Finder Now for talking through this with me and putting so much thought into this list.
Ability to spot the target– This means good quality optics with proper magnification. You can't range the target if you can't find it. Most shooters opt for an 8x or 10x magnification. While doing field tests on rangefinders we searched a field for targets using 5x magnification, and we thought we 'd found all the targets. However, after searching again with 10x magnification we immediately saw one more target that we 'd completely missed with the 5x unit. Like I've mentioned in other posts, really good glass can sometimes make up for magnification. I can see more detail on a 2000 yard target using a 45x Leica spotting scope than a 60x Bushnell spotting scope. The point is quality glass and appropriate magnification both matter, and you can't totally ignore one or the other.
Ability to get laser energy on the target– This has a lot to do with beam divergence, which is a description of how "focused" the beam is. There are a few trade-offs between a very tight or larger beam divergence, which we'll talk about later in this article. There can also be a difference in the quality of the laser pulses transmitted, in terms of the type, wavelength, and sharpness … although those things can be very difficult to quantify.
Receiver aperture size– This is the size of the opening on the receiver optic that captures the return readings and sends it to the actual sensor. A larger aperture can have a huge impact on how much return data the unit is able to collect, which can allow the unit to perform at greater distances and can help the resolution/accuracy of measurements at a shorter distance as well.
How the unit analyzes results– There are a lot of differences between how rangefinders interpret the readings once they receive them, and some are much smarter than others. Older models simply displayed the first reading that returned to the unit, but many modern rangefinders use "multi-pulse technology." This approach emits a burst of hundreds or even thousands of small laser pulses over an extremely short period of time. It then collects a large sample size of readings, then analyzes those results to identify/ignore outliers (like brush, fog, rain) and determine the reading you are intending to range with more certainty. More beams emitted can also help the odds that you'll get a reading on a small and/or non-reflective target. The logic and algorithms used to determine what to display to the user can have a major impact on how well a rangefinder performs.
Beam Divergence– The Ability to Get Laser Energy on Target
Beam divergence, also referred to as beam dispersion, is an angular measurement (typically in mils) of how "focused" the laser beam is. Smaller beam divergence provides greater ranging precision and greater max distance in most situations. With rangefinders of similar quality, beam divergence can be a major indicator of ranging performance. If you can focus 100% of the laser energy on the intended target, you have a much better chance of getting multiple readings off of it. If a rangefinder is smart in how it analyzes the readings, it can make up for less than ideal beam divergence … so contrary to popular belief, beam divergence is not the only factor to consider.
Rangefinder Beam Divergence Diagram
To understand beam divergence, think of shooting two rifles at a target 1000 yards away. One of those rifles averages 2.5″ groups at 100 yards, and the other averages 1/2″ groups. Which of those would give you the better chance of hitting your intended target at 1000 yards? Now if you are trying to hit a 12″ target at 300 yards, either rifle should work. But as you stretch out the distance (or shrink the target size), the smaller divergence becomes critical. This is the same for beam divergence on laser rangefinders. If you are ranging relatively large (deer size) targets at ranges under 500 yards … there is probably no need to worry about beam divergence. As the targets get further or smaller, beam divergence quickly becomes critical to accurate ranging.
I've heard of beam divergence as large as 4 x 2 mils, and one military-grade model I've tested was under 0.3 mils … so there is a lot of variance out there. Here is a diagram that illustrates how big of a difference beam divergence can be at 1000 yards.
One scenario where a very tight beam divergence may be a drawback is if you are trying to range a distant target offhand (i.e. not supported by a tripod). In that case, the motion caused by the unsupported position may make it difficult to hit the target precisely with a tightly focused beam. On the other hand, if you had a beam with more divergence you could more easily hit the target even with some wobble and then rely on the rangefinder's "smarts" to determine what you were intending to range within that larger window.
I was talking to a representative from Vectronix, and we both agree that a beam divergence around 1.5 x 0.5 mils is probably ideal for targets in the range of 500 to 2000 yards, although that isn't a hard and fast rule.
Factors Affecting Measurement Range
There are a number of factors that influence how well a rangefinder is able to perform, including target properties, atmospheric conditions and rangefinder support, and those all play into the maximum effective range of the unit in a given scenario. Here is a very helpful diagram provided by Vectronix that illustrates what those are:
Vectronix – Factors Affecting Measurement Range
When manufacturers advertise a rangefinder to have a max range of 1000 yards or 1 mile, you can usually translate that to meaning there is a chance you might get a reading at that distance, but only under absolutely ideal conditions (e.g. low light, off a tripod, on a very large, reflective target). In my experience, you will usually only be able to get readings out to 70-80% of that advertised max distance under most daytime conditions (bright light) on a 2 MOA reflective targets.
Understanding What the Rangefinder "Sees".
The easiest way to understand how rangefinders work is through a quick example. The diagram below shows a couple tough ranging situations, with each of the yellow targets highlighted by a red box meant to indicate the related beam divergence when trying to range that target. You can see in each situation there will likely be readings returned for the tree, the target, the near hill, and the far hill.
Long-Range Rangefinder Beam Divergence.
The next few illustrations show what the rangefinder might "see" when it tries to range one of our tough scenarios. The first diagram has a grid of just under 200 boxes. You can think of that as all of the beams emitted by the rangefinder. The blue boxes indicate beams that were reflected back to the rangefinder that it was able to record as readings. Boxes that aren't marked blue mean the rangefinder didn't get a reading back from that beam, which may be due to things like poor reflectivity (e.g. the tree doesn't reflect as well as a metal target) and angled objects (e.g. the hills are at a shallow angle away from the user, instead of directly perpendicular like the target).


text: Karczma as you should already be able to tell is a Polish restaurant. While the restaurant's decor may be a bit kitschy with waitresses dressed in traditional folk dresses, the food is amazing and the portions are enormous. We recommend going with some friends and sharing just about everything that sounds good to you. If you're trying to go for a weekend dinner you will probably be met with a long wait, so grab a beer, maybe some vodka, it will be well worth it.

Clafoutis, a fruity, pudding-y, not-quite-a-cake dessert, is traditionally made with black cherries. But as some of you may have noticed here at Stella Nonna we like to play with tradition a bit. Clafoutis is a super easy and delicious dessert to make at home, impressing guests, family, or just yourself. If you happen to have any leftovers, it's also delicious at breakfast. This twist on the classic French dessert blends beautiful pears that are in season right now with toasted almonds. We like the toothsome texture the ground almonds give to the clafoutis, making it just a little bit more interesting (and less prone to the rubbery texture not-so-good clafoutis can get). This recipe also works really well with toasted hazelnuts and pears or switch out the pears for apples. In the summer it's amazing with almonds and apricots or peaches or really any stone fruit, including the cherries of the classic recipe.
- ¾ cup raw almonds
- 2 large pears, enough to cover a shallow 9" tart pan in a single layer
- 2 T flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 t vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- pinch of salt
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place the almonds in single layer in a small baking pan or cast iron pan and toast in the oven until they start to smell toasty, about 15 minutes. Alternately you can toast them on the stove top but they won't have exactly the same toasted flavor. Remove from the oven, transfer to a dish and set aside to cool. Leave the oven on.
Butter/grease the bottom and sides of a 9" shallow tart or baking pan.
Peel and core the pears. Depending on how fancy you want to get, either cut the pears into large chunks (about 1 ½" square) or into wedges (about 3/4" wide at the bottom). Place the pear chunks into a single layer in your pan –or– arrange your wedges in a circle around the pan.
Put the cooled almonds into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until very fine and sandy. Watch it carefully so you don't make almond butter. Add the flour, sugar, vanilla, eggs, egg yolks, milk, cream, and salt and blend until smooth.
Pour the batter over the fruit, carefully if you've made a circle of pears. Bake for 45 minutes until golden brown on top. Serve warm (or cold if you're eating leftovers for breakfast).

The Shocking Truth About How Barack Obama Was Able To Prop Up The U.S. Economy
Posted on December 25, 2016 Written by Michael Snyder Leave a Comment
The Shocking Truth About How Barack Obama
Barack Obama is one of the biggest "Keynesians" of all time, but unfortunately most Americans don't even understand what that means. In this article, I am going to share with you the primary reason why Barack Obama has been able to prop up the U.S. economy over the past eight years. If Barack Obama had not taken the extreme measures that he did, we would be in the midst of a historic economic depression right now. But by propping things up in the short-term, he has absolutely demolished our long-term economic future. But like most politicians, Obama has been willing to sacrifice the future for short-term political gain. [Read more…]

Niagara Falls is one of the most spectacular natural wonders of North America. Niagara Falls is on the Niagara River, about halfway between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The river forms part of the United States-Canadian border.
At the falls, the Niagara River plunges into a steep, canyonlike gorge. The gorge extends beyond Niagara Falls for about 7 miles (11 kilometers), to Lewiston, New York. The famous Whirlpool Rapids begin about 3 miles (5 kilometers) below the falls. Here, the violent current has carved a round basin out of the rocks

A geyser is a spring that throws up hot water with explosive force from time to time. Often, the water shoots up in great columns, cloudy with steam.
"Old Faithful" in Yellowstone National Park is probably the world's most famous geyser. In most years, it erupts, on average, about every 90 minutes. The actual intervals between eruptions vary from about 51 to 120 minutes. Most eruptions are 120 to 150 feet (37 to 46 meters) high. "Old Faithful" has not missed an eruption in over 80 years.

The Golden Gate Bridge
Golden Gate Bridge is one of the largest and most spectacular suspension bridges in the world. It spans the Golden Gate, a strait at the entrance of San Francisco Bay. The bridge, which has a total length of 8,981 feet (2,737 meters), connects northern California to the peninsula of San Francisco. It contains about 88,000 tons (75,000 metric tons) of steel, 390,000 cubic yards (300,000 cubic meters) of concrete, and 160,000 miles (260,000 kilometers) of wire in its two main cables.

The Statue of Liberty
Statue of Liberty is a majestic copper sculpture that towers above Liberty Island at the entrance to New York Harbor in Upper New York Bay. This famous figure of a robed woman holding a torch is one of the largest statues ever built. The statue's complete name is Liberty Enlightening the World.
The people of France gave the Statue of Liberty to the people of the United States in 1884. This gift was an expression of friendship and of the ideal of liberty shared by both peoples. French citizens donated the money to build the statue, and people in the United States raised the funds to construct the foundation and the pedestal (base). The French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi designed the statue and chose its site.

Gateway Arch
Gateway Arch, in St. Louis, Missouri, is the tallest monument in the United States. The arch, wrapped in stainless steel, rises 630 feet (192 meters) above downtown St. Louis, on the Mississippi River. The popular tourist attraction was built to commemorate the nation's westward expansion during the 1800's. Visitors may take trams up either leg of the arch to an observation room at the top. The arch is part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, which also includes an underground visitor center, theater, and museum.

Hoover Dam
Hoover Dam is one of the highest concrete dams in the world. It stands in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River. Hoover Dam is 726 feet (221 meters) high and 1,244 feet (379 meters) long. Elevators descend the equivalent of 44 stories into the dam. But they still do not reach its base. The concrete base is 660 feet (200 meters) thick. It contains enough concrete to pave a two-lane highway from New York City to San Francisco.

We are a growing group of people, drawn from different political parties and no party, who seek to work for a kinder, more inclusive society, and to promote a progressive alternative to a Conservative government. We also seek to take a stand against the yawning inequalities which see an ever greater concentration of wealth, political and media power concentrated in the hands of a tiny elite, one whose narrow, self-serving agenda cascades right down to local government level. This is intolerable and a new kind of cross party politics is needed to combat the threat to our democracy and our wellbeing.
While we are members of Labour, Liberal Democrat, the Greens and Mebyon Kernow, we do not speak on behalf of our parties or make commitments and decisions in their name. We are here to forge informal cross party links, develop trust and explore common ground. In doing so, we hope we will trigger constructive conversations within and outside our respective parties.
This is about a more pragmatic, consensual politics that listens respectfully to difference, does not impose one point of view, speaks with honesty and acts with integrity. What matters is the greater good and a mature politics sees political parties as vehicles towards that end, not as ends in themselves.
Just as importantly we are here to assert progressive values of open-ness, tolerance, inclusivity and freedom of expression. We are outward looking and pro-European while affirming the right of nations and regions to determine their own future – and that includes Cornwall.
We see no conflict between Cornish identity and that based on race, faith, and ethnicity, for Cornwall is our home. It is where we belong. We believe that our different communities can and must come together to take back power and shape our own future.

I'll spare you a detailed rundown of everything we did, but here are a few highlights (mostly of the blue and white variety).
* Auberge du Soleil
The view from Auberge is pretty much my Heaven. We woke up and had an early, quiet breakfast overlooking the valley. That hour was enough to re-energize me for the rest of the year.
|Archetype's Screened-in Porch
As I was snapping pictures, a patron came over to us to rave about the food. I'm definitely adding this to my list of places to go next time I visit.
We did a little "shopping." And by shopping I mean, I snapped pictures of things I wanted to buy.
This large white coral from Martin Showroom is exactly what I need for an empty shelf above the sofa in the library.
I stalked this blue and white antique shop window for 45 minutes before they opened.
* Back in Napa
Not 5 minutes in Napa, and I spotted this beautiful cobalt blue hand-painted chest in Thomas Bartlett Interiors. I had a strong desire to give it a hug. The color was so beautiful.
|More blue and white in Thomas Bartlett
|Outdoor seating for their restaurant The Farmer & The Fox - love the whimsy
Y'all, I feel rejuvenated and lucky. It was a really fabulous weekend. Kip gets to spend some time out there for work once or twice a year (I know, tough gig) so I know I will be back. I can't wait!
I'd love any recommendations from y'all!
Here are a few more places of note for anyone visiting soon:
Pennyweight (St. Helena) - prettiest selection of fine stationery and gifts
Torc (Napa) - Relatively new restaurant, great atmosphere, amazing food and service
Jan de Luz (St. Helena) - gorgeous monogrammed linens
The Christopher Hill Gallery (St. Helena) - contemporary fine art, Christopher is also the nicest person in the world and so fun to talk to, we had so much fun analyzing the work of this cheeky artist Mario Garcia Miro
St. Helena Olive Oil Company - I literally tasted everything in there. I ended up buying their Nuovo Olio 2014, which is the first press for 2014. It was so good. I'm turning into an Olive Oil junky.

It all started when few months back, our outdoor kitties used to eat cooked rice and sardines (one can) per meal. We would buy a lot of canned sardines and cheap hulled rice grains just for them. Our house pet, Percy was so conditioned with cans being opened and always would like to have some of the (tomato) sauce of the canned sardines. But we stopped giving them that kind of meal and replaced it with a cheaper cat food, Princess (brand).
Since then, Percy's conditioned behavior stopped. We would once in a while open few canned goods but he seemed to forgot his behavior. Probably because we weren't giving him food from the can we open (as those were not fishy). Extinction, it is.
Just recently, I got addicted in making tuna sandwich spread out of canned tuna. The first time I opened a can, Percy was just beside me. He wasn't completely interested until I made him smell the tuna. He didn't move while I transferred the tuna in a different container.
The moment I walked around the house, he followed me! A sign that he wanted some. I game him enough to make him full throughout the night.
Last week, we ran out of his cat food and he doesn't eat other flavors of cat food so we had no choice. I had to open a can so he would have something to eat. He loved it to bit!
And now, every time I open the refrigerator and plates would make sound, he rushes to me and looks like begging for me to give him some treats! I can't even say no because he's so cute and all he is. I'm just scared his tummy will ache bad.
Lol whatta post. Conditioning pa ha? =))

Australian airline QANTAS has released a new inflight safety video that uses some of Australia's most regional customers and most well known locations.
The video has been produced with the intention of being screened on hundreds of flights a day and to a global audience of around 30 million people per year.
The scenarios featured in the video include:
- An oxygen mask demonstration at the Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart;
- A life-jacket demonstration at Bondi Icebergs;
- A brace position demonstration during a yoga class on Hamilton Island;
- Counting rows to the exit on a Yarra Valley winery; and
- An emergency slide demonstration at Josephine Falls in Queensland, among others.
Doubling as an inflight safety video and tourism campaign, QANTAS will begin using the footage on flights from February.
QANTAS CEO Alan Joyce said the video was a unique platform to promote the local tourism industry and capture the confident-but-relaxed Aussie personality that visitors tend to fall in love with.
"We've experimented with different settings for our safety videos over the years, but this time we saw an opportunity to celebrate Australia itself," Mr Joyce said.
"The result is something that we believe is really special and powerful, but warm, funny and down to earth at the same time, because it's about everyday Australians.
"We're confident that it's going to grab people's attention and get them focused on the safety information that every Qantas customer needs to know.
"It's a video that people can really connect with, and there's an opportunity to expand its reach by sharing it online and through social media – giving it a dual purpose as promotion for Australian tourism," added Mr Joyce.
"Qantas has always been the biggest private sector supporter of Australian tourism and we're delighted to be working with Tourism Australia on the social media campaign that goes with the new video.
"With the headwind of a lower dollar we have the potential to create a new tourism boom in this country. I'm proud that Qantas is leading the way, not just through our global marketing efforts but by adding flights and seats and expanding our partnerships with the world's biggest airlines."
The locations used in the video include:
Alice Springs, NT
Bondi Baths, NSW
Canberra, ACT
Cradle Mountain, TAS
Deep Well Station, NT
Exmouth, WA
Fremantle, WA
Hamilton Island, QLD
Hobart, TAS (MONA)
Josephine Falls, QLD
Lake Lefroy, WA
Melbourne, VIC
Purnong, SA
Stanwell Park NSW
Tooborac, VIC
Yarra Valley, VIC
Whitsundays, QLD

Who doesn't love a warm, gooey casserole? Especially the kind that can be made ahead and either tossed in the fridge till dinner the next day, or frozen for weeks (or months)!
To me, casseroles are one of the best comfort foods out there, and make-ahead casserole recipes are the best. THE BEST!
My sister-in-law is 8-1/2 months pregnant and I blame her for having casseroles on my brain. She asked me if I'd help her prep a few freezer meals to tuck away until after the baby's born, which is very smart! (For the record, I was not that smart. For either child.)
Those of you who've had babies must remember what it's like those first 6-8 weeks after the baby's born. Every single day is comprised of eating, sleeping, diapering and changing baby clothes. I mean, you barely have enough time to grab a shower, let alone pull together a home cooked dinner – right?
Having make-ahead casseroles frozen and at the ready is a terrific way to get dinner on the table without also losing your mind (which may happen anyway, but at least you won't be able to blame the food!).
10 Make-Ahead Casserole Recipes
NOTE: Each of these casseroles can be covered tightly with aluminum foil and frozen just before the baking step.
- Simple Mexican Ground Beef Casserole
- Baked Ziti
- Baked Creamy Chicken Spaghetti (I'd leave the onion topping off until you're ready to bake)
- Spinach, Mushroom & Italian Sausage Lasagna
- Simple Oyster Casserole
- Creamy Baked Chicken Pasta
- Walnut French Toast Bread Pudding Casserole
- Vegetarian Lasagna Rolls
- Spinach, Bacon & Cheese Egg Casserole
- Chicken Noodle Casserole
(Yes, there are some breakfast options too – enjoy!)
